Research by SUNY Poly Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Technology Dr. Jagannath (Jay) Upadhyay, who employed the Michael addition of a multifunctional thiol to a multifunctional acrylate in conjunction with bulk modifiers acrylate to produce stable tunable hydrophilic microfluidic devices, has been published in the European Polymer Journal.

The process involved the Michael addition of a secondary amine to a multifunctional acrylate followed by bulk modification of the polymer network with monofunctional acrylates.
